  • This class was awesome! The peated bourbon was incredible.
  • Very informative tour. The best person led the tour; I didn’t catch his name, but he was so passionate about the distillery and bourbo that it radiates through his presentation. We got to taste 3-4 different kinds. Really awesome tour.

I had such a nice time, I couldn’t turn down buying a bottle of the empire rye.

  • Whiskey Wars!

    This is a great tour, although be sure to make note that of where Building 92 is at the Brooklyn Navy Yard - we made the mistake of going to the distillery first (which are not exactly next door). If you can, go to Building 92 early to check out the interesting museum before the tour starts, as you don't get any free time to explore there on your own. Both the Building 92 tour guide and the distillery tour guide were passionate, informative, and entertaining, and answered everyone's questions. Learned a lot about the history of the area and how to make whiskey and bourbon. At the end of the distillery tour you get to taste 4 spirits (everyone tasted the same 3, and then you got your choice between 2 options for the 4th). Highly recommended for history buffs, local Brooklyn manufacturing, and/or avid spirit drinkers.
  • My boyfriend and I had a private tour of the distillery and learned about the history of whiskey. We had a lot of fun and tasted some of whiskey and moonshine. In general its just a great activity, I also bought me a dark chocolate flavored whiskey which is really delicious.
  • Nice
  • The History of Scotch Whisky

    The instructor was hilarious, knowledgeable, and the whisky was good!
  • Whiskey & Cheese 101 with Westland Distillery

    Brought my sister and cousin here for a fun Friday night activity, and we had a great time! We learned a ton about whiskey and thoroughly enjoyed the cheese pairings as well. I loved that it was at Bedford Cheese Shop, and Graham was a fantastic teacher! Will definitely be back for more classes!
